Lot 327		1833 N-4 R4 PCGS graded MS64 Red & Brown, CAC Approved. Choice lustrous olive and steel with 20% of the obverse and 10% of the reverse showing mint color. Sharply struck and very attractive. The best identifying marks, and they are insignificant, are a pair of diagonal ticks on the truncation over the 18 and a small spot of darker bluish olive toning under the E in UNITED. E-MDS with a fine die crack through the date and lower stars but without the additional crack from star 4 to star 7. This variety is sometimes called a 3/2 overdate, and in the earliest state you can see some fine repunching of either a 2 or another 3 under the second 3. There is a trace of something at the right bottom of the 3 on this example, but calling it the base of an undertype 2 would be a stretch. Our grade is MS63.

In addition there are two small, light nicks under the 8 in the date and a tiny scuff under the O in OF. LDS but not quite the latest state. The spikes up from the dentils below the date are gone but the small lump at the Y in LIBERTY has not formed.
